The Rest Is...Media Manipulation

Season 2 is here! The Rest Is...PR embarks on its second season this week, with Jacki and Lyle once again tackling some of the major issues of the day and analysing the PR elements of some of the big breaking news stories across the world. In the first episode of the new season, Jacki and Lyle discuss a topic which is becoming more and more prevalent by the day - media manipulation. Jacki discusses the recent controversy surrounding Omid Scobie's latest book, Endgame, where the Dutch release 'accidentally' named the two Royals allegedly at the centre of what Harry clarified as being 'unconscious bias' in his and Meghan's interview wit Oprah a couple of years ago. Jacki posits that this may well have been planted by Scobie's team in an effort to drum up publicity for a book whihch had lacked it upon release initially, in the latest example of media manipulation. Lyle brings up previous examples of media manipulation, including the famous 2001 notion by one government aide that September 12th would be a 'good day to bury bad news'. Lyle finishes the episode by encouraging the population to always be questioning what we hear from the so-called mainstream media, and Jacki discusses how the cycle of media moguls such as Rupert Murdoch may well be about to repeat itself. There's even time for Lyle to demonstrate the Swiss accent he had been using during his performances in Chichester!
